The first thing you learn. The last thing you make yours.

Ask a breaker what breaking is and they'll point at the floor.

Power moves are the part that travels. The dance is made lower down, in patterns that circle and return — six counts, the body orbiting its own hands, the sixth putting you back exactly where the first one started. That's why the pattern never has to end. It's also why everybody learns it and nobody owns it for about a decade.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!

BX ORIGINALS — TRUE TO THE CULTURE
Hip-hop has four elements: DJing, MCing, Breaking, Graffiti. Each product in our collections carries one, set in that element's own lettering tradition. Not four versions of one graphic — four distinct hands held together by one system.

THE BX VAULT
Every BX Originals piece connects to the BX Vault — our library of long-form writing on hip-hop history and practice. Not marketing copy. Real research on the people, places, and decisions that built this culture. The culture on the product. The context behind it.

FROM THE BRONX
BX Originals documents hip-hop's four elements from where they started. We're not a fashion brand borrowing an aesthetic. We're building an archive that happens to make things you can wear.

BX Originals. True to the culture.
